Flexible toy

ABSTRACT

A flexible toys comprises mainly a flexible main body provided with a holding portion extending from the top of the flexible main body, and engaged with at least one swing part on the middle section thereof; wherein said flexible swing part is provided with several flexible bars; the flexible main body and the flexible swing part can be designed to have different colors. As the operator holds the holding portion on the top of the flexible main body, said flexible main body is in a stretched state, whereby as the operator rotates the flexible main body to the right, the flexible main body becomes twisted. Upon releasing the flexible main body, the flexible main body will turn quickly to the left, thereby cause the fling of the flexible bars of the flexible swing part. As the flexible main body rotates left to a certain extent, the flexible main body becomes twisted and then turns to the right again. Under such constant rotation to right and left, the fling of the main body and swing part can persist. During the course of the fling, a lurid color could be presented due to the color difference between the flexible main body and the flexible and the purpose of amusement can be achieved.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a flexible toy, and in particular, to aflexible toy characterized in that, through the flexible attribute ofTPR material, its flexible main body and flexible swing parts thereoncan be turned right or left constantly to achieve the purpose of toyinginterest.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The configuration and type of conventional rubber-type toys can be saidto be extremely diverse that the producer can make a toy into anyconfiguration according to the requirement itself enabling one enjoy acompletely new visual organoleptic effect. Further, since rubberexhibits tenacity, the user can stretch and knead arbitrarily to changethe form and the changed form can be restored to the originalconfiguration due to the flexibility of the rubber, so that one can toywith it repeatedly without damage it. However, conventional rubber toyscan only change over their configurations without any new idea. Thus, inorder to impart a rubber toy much amusement, there has been developedrubber toys with stickiness with which the user can throw the rubber toyof diverse configuration to adhere any place and hence increase theamusement of those rubber toys. Although rubber toys exhibit alreadystickiness and flexibility, their configurations concentrate still on aplanar type. Further, the playing mode of a conventional rubber toy isfixed without any novel idea.

Accordingly, the conventional product has many defects, is not a perfectdesign, and need to be improved.

In view of the various disadvantages derived from the above-describedconventional toys, the inventor had devoted to improve and innovate it,and finally, after studying intensively for many years, has developedsuccessfully the inventive flexibly toy.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One object of the invention is to provide a flexible toy characterizedin that it flexible main body can be made into a man-like configuration,and its flexible swing parts can be made into a hem of a clothe suchthat as the flexible main body swing left and right, the toy can behaveas dancing happily like a dancer.

Another object of the invention is to provide a flexible toycharacterized in that it can be played simply with relatively muchamusement.

Yet another object of the invention is to provide a flexible toycharacterized in that its flexible main body and flexible swing partscan be made to have various colors such that as it spins, a differentvisual organoleptic effect can be achieved.

Flexible toys that can achieve the above-mentioned objects of theinvention comprises a flexible main body and at least one flexible swingparts, wherein said flexible main body and said flexible swing parts canbe of different colors; wherein said flexible main body is provided witha holding portion by extending from the top of the flexible main body,and an engaging slot around its middle section; wherein said swing partsis provided with holes thereon and several flexible bars extendedtherefrom; said holes are to be engaged in the engaging slot on theflexible main body such that said flexible bars can hang spontaneouslyand contact with said flexible main body; when the operator holds theholding portion on the top of the flexible main body, the flexible mainbody will be in a stretched state, and as the operator rotatescontinuously the flexible main body to the right side, the flexible mainbody becomes a twisted state effected by the flexible attribute of theflexible main body, thereby a resiliency is generated therein. Once theresiliency of the flexible main body is liberated, the flexible mainbody will rotate quickly to the left side and this rotation will causethe fling of the flexible bars on the flexible swing part, whereupon theflexible main body rotates to a certain extent, the flexible main bodywill twist again to the right side, whereby, under such constantrotation to right and left, the fling of the main body and swing partcan persist. During the course of the fling, a lurid color could bepresented due to the color difference between the flexible main body andthe flexible and the purpose of amusement can be achieved.

These features and advantages of the present invention will be fullyunderstood and appreciated from the following detailed description ofthe accompanying Drawings.
